Why Medical Cannabis Patients Still Need Workplace Support in 2025

Even as 40+ states recognize medical cannabis, many employers cling to outdated “drug‑free” policies. Random tests, strict federal contracts, and safety-sensitive rules can put compliant patients in a difficult position. Veriheal cannabis workplace support gives you a proactive way to safeguard your job, so a positive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) result doesn’t derail your career.

How the Cannabis Medical Letter Works

Download the signed PDF—including physician license number, your registry ID, and a concise workplace‑ready statement.
Share at your discretion with HR, a union rep, or legal counsel.

Because the letter comes from the same doctor handling your card, details stay consistent and verifiable.
